SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 339,476,:iated April 6,1886.

Application fiied September 16, 1885. Serial No. 177,256.

To CLZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL SAUDER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Pettisville, in the county of Fulton and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Vindmills; and I dodeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being bad to theaccompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference markedthereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure l of the drawings is a front view. Fig. :5 is a detail viewshowing crank-shaft. Fig. 8 is a side view. Fig. -";i: is a section withparts broken away. Fig. 5 is a detail view with parts broken away. Fig.6 is a sectional detail view of a portion of the operating mech anism.

This invention has relation to windengines; and it consists in theconstruction and novel combination of parts, as will be hereinafterfully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, A designates thederrick, and B is the platform near the upper end of the derrick, whichis provided with an opening through which an attendant may pass torepair or oil the upper portion of the engine when necessary. Thederrick is of the ordinary construction, and is substantially braced togive it the necessary strength. The derrick is capped by a casting,G,which has a vertical axial bore, 1), through which two verticalpitman-rods, E F, pass. Near its upper end the casting G is providedwith an inwardlyextending arm,G,which has two vertical guideslots, G G,through which the upper ends of the vertical pitman-rods work. The upperend of one of the pitrnan-rods-viz, the rod E-is pivoted to the outerend of the upper arm, E, of a pivoted crank-lever, FF, which isfulcrumed between the arms H H of the casting 0 below the connectedupper ends of said arms. The upper end of the other pitman-rod, F, isconnected to the upper end of an arm, J, the lower end of which arm J isconnected with a wrist-pin, J, on the disk J 2 on the inner end of thewheel-shaft J The (No model.)

wheel-shaft J 3 works in a horizontal bearing, Jfiwhich extends forwardfrom the turn-table or top casting. The vane M is hinged to the topcasting and works in a horizontal plane. The casting G has arearwardly-extending hor zontal hearing, L, in which is journaled ahorizontal shaft, J which is provided with an upwardly-extended arm, J,and a downwardlyentending rod, J having an adjustable weight, J securedthereto by a set-screw, J This upwardly-extended arm J is connected withthe pivoted vane M by a link or rod, .1, and the weight J may beadjusted on its rod J to require any desired force of wind to turn thewheel into position for operation. The wind-wheel is preferably aslat-wheel having rigid slats, and the vane is a slat-vane. The lowerends of the pitnian-rods E F are provided with pivoted or hinged metalarms N N, which connect at their extreme lower ends with a double-crankshaft, 0, mounted in bearings near the lower portion of the frame of theengine. The driving-shaft P is provided with a band-wheel, Q, on itsouter end, and a sectional clutch, R, and shiftinglever S, for throwingit in and out of gear. The pitman is longer than the other pitman-rod,and passes through a guide, T, near the lower end of the frame.

U designates an eye on the weighted lever, with which eye a weightedcord is connected and runs over a pulley,V. This cord is used to turnthe vane around parallel with the wheel when it is desired to throw thewheel out of the wind. At its upper end one of the pitman-rods, E, isprovided with a guide-casting, 'W, through which the casting V on theupper end of the other pitman-rod works when the engine is in operation.

During operation the weight J serves to keep the vane M in a positionrelatively at right angles to the plane of the wheel, as more fullyshown in Fig. 1. 'When the wind strikes the face of the wheel, it causesthe same to rotate, turning the shaft J and the disk J on the inner endthereof. This causes the arm J to be driven up and down, andconsequently the pitman F, connected thereto. This will cause thecrank-lever E to reciprocate vertically from its pivotal point, which isat the angle of its branches E and H, and give a vertical reciprocationto the pitman E, connected thereto. The horizontal arm being rigidlysecured to the arm J, and the former pivotally connected with disk J andthe arm H of the crank-lever, it will be seen that when the pitman F iscarried up the pitman E is carried down, thereby giving the said pitmenan alternate vertical reciprocation.

When it is desirable to throw the wheel from the wind, it is onlynecessary to pull the cord leading from the arm J ,Whi0h will causethesaid arm to lift and the vane to turn in a position parallel to theplane of the wheel.

Having thus fully described my invention, 1

what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. In a windmill, the combination, with the derrick and the castingjournaled thereon and provided with the slotted guides for the pitmen,of the crank levers respectively connected with the pitmen, thewheel-shaft, the

disk secured to the inner end thereof, and the DANIEL SAUDER.
